Cheer Up Charlies

Cheer Up Charlies is a vegan bar in Austin known for fresh squeezed juice cocktails, kombucha on tap, and a mix of local beers and biodynamic wines. The drink list leans plant-based, and the colorful cabin-style space has a parachute-shaded patio that works well for an afternoon drink and conversation.

Behind the bar, a large outdoor music venue hosts live music and events most nights, and the calendar often includes movie screenings and storytelling on other evenings. It is open Thursday through Sunday, late into the night on weekends. Event bookings are handled by email, and the bar is at 900 Red River Street in downtown Austin.
